[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Maybe someone can shed some light on this for me and possibly the community. I wish the Xoom/any tablet or phone would have speakers on the front rather than the back. When you are the user holding the phone you are not behind the phone, but in front of it, thus the sound should come from the front. It makes sense right? I understand putting them on the back is a better way to share a song or something with others when you want to, but what if it's just you?

Is it a hardware limitation to have the speakers on the front, like... the internal workings are not arranged to work that way? It would be much more ideal to have double speakers on the front and the back. This would give all users the best experience, whether you are the one holding the device or you are sharing it with others. That would also enhance the sound environment, making a more somewhat surround sound type feeling.

For example I like how all new PSP's have front facing speakers just for the reason explained above. Why can't other devices like phones and tablets use this idea? And why can't devices have speakers on both the front and the back.. is that a company related issue or hardware limitation?

Im not complaining or anything. I love the Xoom and its speakers. But when its laying flat on a surface the sound gets covered. Isn't it supposed to lay on flat surfaces since it's a tablet? The sound doesn't lower much but still. Thoughts?
[Xoom General] Santoro:
Sure that would be nice, but it's not technically practical in a tablet. I doubt any of the upcoming tablets will have front facing speakers, and if they do they will have Larger bezels to accomodate it. I'd prefer it like the XOOM. This isn't meant for audiophile listienig.....
[Defy General] diggedy:
Just a quick one.

Ive come from the desire which ive installed just about every rom on and modified the partition table dozens of times so im no stranger to rooting... however this defy has me confused.

I need 2.2 to access lotus traveller for my work emails so im looking to install a custom rom until T-mobile uk finally release the official one but im reading all sorts of things like not being able to downgrade if you flash certain roms which arent "fixed".

Can someone give me a brief overview so i can get my head round what all this is about and can anyone point me in the direction of a good solid 2.2 rom which is as close to the official rom as possible?

cheers

edit : forgive the title, its meant to say FROYO!!

Here you go fella http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=993402

I've just recently flashed this 3.4.3-11 http://depositfiles.com/en/files/tjnmh6d98 onto my Defy & it's running great. There's no T-Mobile branding on this one & I doubt that you would be able to downgrade to an older version either.

You'll need RSD Lite V4.9, Motorola Drivers (I used V4.9 for these).

I followed Higgsy's great guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853674 about flashing a sbf & it worked a treat - in fact this current sbf is the 2nd froyo that I've flashed.

Hope this helps.
[Defy General] diggedy:
thanks for that. Ive actually managed to get a version of 3.4.2 on now which can be downgraded. Im starting to get the hang of this, it certainly a different process than what im used to thanks to motorola!

Im trying to keep it to stock roms now as I found with my desire there was always some bug that "bugged" me with custom roms so with this I think when the official 2.2 comes out for the UK I will flash it and keep the phone unrooted ( I only ever initially got into rooting for apps2sd anyway)

The reason for needing to keep it downgradeable is purely for the warranty with t-mobile otherwise I would just go with the rom you suggested.

Do you know of any version of 3.4.3-11 that is out there that is downgradeable that is still close to stock in terms of apps and features?

edit :its worth noting that higgsys procedure doesnt work with the eclair 2.51, you end up with the black screen issue. ( I imagine most are shipping with this now) although the general guidelines still apply, just different files are needed.
[Defy General] sp8y:
I'm not clued up on anything other than flashing a sbf via RSD Lite but if you have a look at the SBF Service File sticky in the Defy Dev forum the last post or two links to a fixed sbf & a nandroid of 3.4.3-11.

I am having an issue with MMS. Some of my friends that text me do not show up under all messages. They only show up if I select the SMS/MMS icon within the MMS.apk. Issue is when that happens I cannot open the text messages. It just says loading and never loads. Only the messages that show up under all message can I read. Anyone run across this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1107963:
Can you provide more information like if you are rooted and if so what rom are you using..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatman41:
Yes I am rooted running Redemtive rEVOlution 2.2 running Viva Azul 1.1 Theme.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
I'm running the same setup but am not experiencing this. I can tell you this though. I was getting some random force closes from the lockscreen settings.apk and ran fix permissions. Totally f'ed up my mms. Just a thought. Had to go to a backup.

i have clockwork installed.

how can i load a new rom from this situtation?

where can i get a img file in order to use fastboot?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
turn phone off.. hold volume up + power then go down to recovery.

1. nandroid restore

2. flash a ROM
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitla:
i dont have a nandroid, i have a clockwork.

please guide me what to do cuz all this android thing is new to me and i can't use the phone right now
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
go to the development forum and download a nandroid and put it on your phone by mounting it via USB

or download a ROM and flash. (wipe dalvik,cache,factory first)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitla:
how can i copy it via usb? the phone dosent start up

the only solution is SDK?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitla:
i try to copy files into the device using adb push

it seems like it was copied but i cant see any new files there
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
no.. when you flash clockwork recovery and boot into it.. go into Mounts and Storage and on the bottom "mount USB"... it'll mount like if your phone is on, just copy paste it in there

****Not Working****​

CDMA seems broken - still! I did some testing with hyc's RIL and it's still busted, so there's something in the system image messing with it - Airplane mode was checked, and I could not uncheck it.

In addition, phone.apk seems like a forceclosefest. Neopeek did point this out in his original thread...

Mobile data - broken (Fixed soon)

Wifi - broken (Fixed soon)

System needs optimization for RHOD - was originally build with DIAM in mind - so it's a little slow.

Failed wakes seem pretty bad - sometimes it is quite difficult to wake the phone.

Boot animation seems to be not present - I'm looking into fixing it, probably graphics libs if anything that's broke it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dev Content​

This new method should be great for anyone who wants to make their own updates - you can easily peek into the system image and make changes at will, then just install the new system image! You can even rolll updates instead of an entire system image if you wish.

The script language in ClockWorkMod is called "Edify", see this thread to learn about the syntax. This is related to the META-INF folder you see in the update zip.

There's a few differences in the rootfs', the main being the init. There's also some additional files it looks like neopeek added for Recovery specifically.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vnes1984:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:

PM message

Arrrgh,

Disregard the PM I sent you.

I read the instruction and like you said, its not simple. So I will wait until you upload the easy to run load.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Sorry, I need access to a Linux box to do the 'easy' build... I will when I get home tonight from work, promise ;).

You can make it as big as you want I guess... I'm not sure how neopeek sets up the data partition to be honest, I'd have to ask him.

Edit - in lieu of the post below, I adjusted the first post to say it needs to be at least 400mb ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
I have 700 mb and is working well,you can use as much as you want

Is easy just use mini tool partition wizard,delete the main partition on the sd-card

and do two,one fat32 primary and one ext2 primary,then extract the archive and put the proper startups in npkinstall and in root

from the phone run install.exe

and after the reboot use haret.exe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] pdawg17:

Another noob question, but the rootfs, kernels, oc, etc from the xdandroid builds will work the same on these?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Quincux:
it's necessary create a swap partition?

What works in this build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
The rootfs is more or less collapsed in these.

Kernels are straight from XDAndroid repo.

OC is the same, startup.txt is fairly similar ;).

Swap is not necessary.

Most things that work in XDAndroid work in here. Lots of other things are broken here tho :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kruijs:
Okay, downloaded and installed without problems.

First impressions:

Absolutely great build in terms of response!

No delays in menus, etc.

Also, this looks like the first build that may have little or no clock delay, so no need for clocksync !!! (to be confirmed since I did not use it very long, die to issues below)

However...

1) No WIFI

2) No Mobile data (2G/3G)

3) camera not working (could be just blackstone)

- maybe other issues, decided to wait for more feedback before continuing, without market access there's little point...

Device: Blackstone

Kernel: extensive testing with provided one (1276), later switched to 1277, to fix audiostuttering, no wifi or mobile data in either...

As a reference, used many NeoPeek / XDAndroid builds, generally got WIFI/Mobile data working until now...

Love to hear if someone else (blackstone?) got WIFI/2G/3G working...

Oh, well, as I understood, this was an early "developer" release, still plenty of room for improvements!

Cheers,

Robbert

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] slapshot30:
Can anyone report on battery life on this build or any of the neopeek builds? The main things I want are battery life and stability (I'm probably not alone on that idea). I'm currently on FRX05 with 3/11 kernal and it's amazing. I end the day with 40% battery or more and it's as stable as anything I've ever tried. Also does battery life have more to do with the build or kernals? (or both)? Just Curious :), I'm so happy with how far along all of this has come.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Entropy512:
Primarily the kernel - the WisTilt2 kernels focus on improving power management.

However, a bad userland could negatively impact battery life by eating CPU or triggering wakelocks.

Boots and I am able to play around with the settings on my RAPH110.

Connect up to WiFi

I'm sure theres more but gotta work through the "must haves" first! ;) All in all, I am loving some CM7 on my Fuze!!! It's verrrry nice! Also, thought I'd note that I am not using the kernel packge included with the packaged build but instead the latest, to date, from Glemsom's site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
I'm not sure what to do with the April 3 update. It only contains cm7-rc4-01042011.tar . Do I drop it in the root, rename it androidinstall, or do I have to manually copy all of the included stuff by ADB?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] helicopter88:
rename it as androidinstall.tar and put it in npkinstall folder

run install.exe and then haret.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You just rename it to androidinstall.tar.gz right?

In other words, don't change the file extension ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
I extracted it to extension .tar and then renamed it to androidinstall.tar. Seems to be installing fine. Have not booted yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Both might actually work, I'm not sure to be honest. Assuming it's installing, you should be good!

My point is, you probably didn't have to do that first extract from .tar.gz to .tar :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] DmK75:
Hi!

How to remake it into system.ext2 ?

I know how to and it working with many builds, but this cm7 cannot be loaded :(

Seems need to changes also in rootfs.img (init or etc.) specially for this build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, welcome to my world buddy.

I would've made a loop'd build... a long time ago if I could figure it out :p.

Hence the reason this is a 'dev preview' - let me know if you do figure it out, I'd love to start tearing into this beast!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tehb13:
1. no mobile network

2. every 3-5sec "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] vinceweis:
1. Please read post #2. No Mobile data , no WIFI.

2. I got phone service with the phone in my sig. No one will be able to help you without a lot more information.

This build is not for the feint of heart or for anyone expecting it to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] BoominSVX:
If you mount --bind the new test RIL the phone should connect. The test RIL is capable of CDMA mode now. Just throwing that out there. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hrk7474:
let's try something new, i thought...

well, if i only could find the right download that this thread is about.

The link in 1st post under Downloads takes me to a page where i can select the different servers. The direct download on top doesn't work, and the rest offer a file called cm7-rc4-01042011.tar.gz which upon extraction doesn't sport any folder called npinstall, no folder starting with 'n' whatsoever.

Reading on in the thread this file seems to be an upgrade file..?

So on to Neopeeks original post on the neopeek forum. I downloaded the older file from march 25 but it has the same folders as the other one.

Anybody know where to get the basic files needed to try this build out or any chance of reuploading?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] R^7Z:
Yeah, this setup isn't for those just entering this arena ;) :p That being said, you missed a important step that I thought was posted in this thread earlier (maybe/maybe not).

Basically, you will need to use the older build (from 25MAR) and go into the neopeek install folder then delete the androidinstall.tar.gz file and copy over the update (file called cm7-rc4-01042011.tar.gz or something similar) and rename it to just androidinstall.tar.gz. Then re-run setup on your phone and finally run haret.

Additionally, it is really up to the thread OP to include this additional info in their first post (hint hint ;) cough coughArrrghhhcough cough) lolz

:cool:

n-Joie! (Enjoy)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] hrk7474:
:D thanks. i'll try again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It does say dev preview in the thread title :rolleyes:

Anyhoo, I'm still trying to get a looped ext2 build to work right. I'm waiting to clean up the first post for that to happen - but maybe it's not going to and I'll need to just give up on that dream and just go with the partition method.

There's also some new ClockworkMod coming thru the pipeline that neopeek wants chefs to be using. Well I'm no chef, but I would like to integrate that.

So please, be patient - and realize that this is just to play with :p.

Just updated the first post guys. Big update, ClockWorkMod is on deck.

Please re-read the entire first post, as a lot does change because of CWM.

CM7 is still a FCfest, but I'll start looking into fixin that soon. I haven't done anything to change this system image to be honest, and it needs some work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] R^7Z:
Wholey crap! :eek: When did we go from 2 to 4 partitions?! :p I was actually browsing that thread the other day and thought about this thread... Heh, imagine that! :D ;)

Guess I'll be looking into another microSD card! All of these partitions can't be good for the microSD card... Poor thing doesn't even know what's about to happen! Lolz...

Am I correct to say that the additional partitions are pretty much what to expect with Nand or is Nand a whole different world entirely???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Doesn't hurt the card at all... Neopeek figured it was good to use dedicated partitions, it's more native-like. Read the first post man, it explains what all the partitions are for... It's not like that number was arbitrarily chosen...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] R^7Z:
I wouldn't care if there were 14 partitions, each being 1GB each. Just kind of threw me for a loop when I read that they were using 4 partitions now. I also read that about the more native-like feel, whatever that means, as I don't have an actual Android device. I'm guessing native-like in the terms of Nand (which is why I edited my previous post)? Also, I don't recall neopeek getting into specifics with this but I'd be willing to give it a once or twice over (slightly off topic sorry) after I got done with compiling the logs for SCBS for my RAPH110 and editing the conf file as per jonpry's email. Any additional insight would be most appreciated! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yea, this form of recovery is very similar to what native devices use to update - rooted devices, these aren't like OTA updates on devices, but on rooted devices flashing different ROM's.

I don't think SCBS works on anything but RHOD, and I don't see what that has to do with my thread :p. Give CWM a shot, it's fun to play with! This ROM isn't so stable yet, but I'm going to try and make FRX06 available via CWM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] R^7Z:
I appreciate the vote of confidence there kimosabe! :p ;)

Additionally, you might want to make mention in the first post, where you are stuck with the XDAndroid process(IF you are still attempting this), perhaps someone who has an idea may be able to shed some light? Unless you prefer to go solo on that mission, ofc. Just my two cents, anything additional will require payment upfront and using GOLD! :D lolz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Heh, I appreciate any help/advice. I'm stuck on the part where it doesn't boot... As in, something probably needs to be mucked with in the init. I haven't put much thought into it, as the build itself is a FCfest. Needs a little bit of work, and I'm basically venturing into new ground for me - I'm no dev, I'm very new to this scene :p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jellenl:
This is really a nice build! Great work!

I fixed the constant force closes "com.Android.Phone" by simply replacing the standard phone app by dialer-one (from the market). I'm no dev, but I also tried to fix the other bugs like no-wifi and no-data too, but without succes.

And yeah, I know that it's a dev preview so it's normal that it has bugs, I just want to share my expieriences with this build ;-)

Is someone currently working on optimizing this build or not?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] R^7Z:
Check out the first post. I'm pretty sure Arrrghhh mentions the neopeek site as a point of reference :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
